this is dumb. if i ever have kids i want them to be able to go out and do what ever they want . getting scrapes and cuts and hit with a ball in the head is what being a kid is all about, i remember playing a game of red rover and litterally clothes lining a kid and she got up and went right back to playing.

The parents who are complaining about the bans would probably be the same parents taking the school to court if their kid was hurt. This is the result of creating a litigious culture. If you think every time something goes wrong in life you can flip that into a potential pay-off you'll have to get used to bans like these being enforced.

Permission slips instead of a ban. "By signing this you waive your right to sue." Over-coddling is probably pretty harmful in the long run too.
